FOR THE BREAD:
1 cup Unbleached All-purpose Flour
1 cup Old Fashioned Rolled Oats
1-1/2 teaspoon Baking Powder
1/2 teaspoons Salt
1/2 cups Unsalted Butter, Softened
1/2 cups Packed Light Brown Sugar
2 Eggs
2 teaspoons Vanilla, Divided
3 ounces, weight Chopped Plums, Plus A Few More Pieces For Topping
3 ounces, weight Blackberries, Plus A Few More For Topping
4 ounces, weight Neufchatel Cream Cheese, Softened
1/4 cups Granulated Sugar
FOR THE STREUSEL TOPPING:
1/4 cups Unbleached All-purpose Flour
1/4 cups Old Fashioned Rolled Oats
2 Tablespoons Light Brown Sugar
1/4 teaspoons Cinnamon
1/4 teaspoons Nutmeg
2 Tablespoons Cold Unsalted Butter (cut Into Small Pieces)
Powdered Sugar, For Topping (optional)

1
Heat oven to 350 F. Lightly grease an 8-by-4-inch or 9-by-5-inch loaf pan with cooking spray with flour (like Baker's Joy or Pam Baking Spray). Or you can spray it with regular cooking spray and lightly dust pan with flour.
2
In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, oats, baking powder and salt. Set aside.
3
In a large bowl or in the bowl of a stand mixer, beat together butter and brown sugar until light and slightly fluffy. Add eggs and 1 teaspoon vanilla; stir to combine.
4
Add flour mixture into the butter mixture; stir to combine. Gently fold in chopped plums and blackberries.
5
In a small bowl, beat together cream cheese, remaining 1 teaspoon vanilla and sugar. Fold it into the batter just a few times so there are streaks of cream cheese throughout.
6
Make the oat streusel: Add all ingredients except the powdered sugar into a small bowl and mix with your fingers until a clumpy, cohesive, streusel-texture mix forms.
7
Pour batter into prepared pan. Top with a few pieces of chopped plums and blackberries, if desired. Top it evenly with the oat streusel.
8
Bake for 1 hour (this could be less if you use a 9-by-5-inch pan) or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. If the top is browning too quickly, cover with a tent of foil.
9
Remove pan from oven and set it on a rack. Cool bread for 15 minutes in the pan, then carefully remove it from the pan and transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely. Dust with powdered sugar before serving, if desired.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
Coconut cream is a reliable plant-based alternative to dairy cream.
